Sri Lanka Project – A Future for Children

Fondazione Pesenti supports the design activities and supervision of the construction works of the Metiyagane Training Center in Sri Lanka.

 
 

The project “Aid  for Sri Lanka –  A Future for Children”  launched in 2005 thanks to post-tsunami fundraising and the support of the Foundation,  in collaboration with the local Salesian Congregation , concluded with the creation of a professional school complex including workshops, a dormitory, and a cafeteria.

The center is located in Metiyagane, in the western region of the island, away from the coast and 55 km northeast of the city of Negombo. The school is a technical and vocational type with a focus on construction, aimed at training resources to meet the local need for infrastructure and housing.

A modern dormitory in a developing country: a facility that provides future and hope for new generations.
